Wow - Bolton falling to rack and ruin despite the promise of major investment in bus stations, rail stations, cinema complex and the focus is on a bit of bread bap, roll, cob, barm cake, flower cake blah blah blah.

It must be such a joy to go out after completing the journalism course to report on a lighthearted Facebook poll about Warbies bread products.

Good advert for Warbies though eh ;-)

They were certainly called flour cakes in Bolton for years, as a young lad I would go to the local bread shop and order flour cakes.

I fear it was probably Coronation Street's fault, as they called them barm cakes which I understand is a Mancunian name for our flour cake.

Having worked in Manchester for 30 years I have certainly noticed their lingo infecting our Bolton Lancashire word.

Greenhalghs still call them flour cakes. It's surprising to see that Warburtons didn't include flour cakes in their poll.

Warburton's certainly had a range called " flour cakes" along with "oven bottoms", seems they are standardising their product and forgetting their Bolton roots, they also dropped Bolton LANCASHIRE off their address.

There was always both Barm Cakes and Flour Cakes in farnworth shops
Flour cakes are bigger and more floury. That was in the 50s and sixties .
After that they dropped the Flour cakes .

Yes they would have done a few years ago.

I certainly didn't know what a barm cakes was until I started to work in Manchester in the 60's. They also called them muffins.

It was always flour cakes in Bolton Lancashire.
